General Safety
- Use
strong, unique passwords
Avoid using the same password across sites. Use a password manager to keep track. - Enable
two-factor authentication (2FA)
It adds an extra layer of security beyond just a password. - Keep
software updated
Regularly update your OS, apps, and antivirus to patch vulnerabilities. - 📧 Email & Messaging Scams (Phishing)
- Don’t
click on suspicious links or attachments
Even if the sender seems familiar—scammers can spoof addresses. - Look
for red flags
Poor grammar, urgent threats, or unexpected requests are common in phishing emails. - Verify
before responding
If an email or message asks for sensitive info, call or message the person/company directly.
🌐 Web & Social Media
- Check
URLs carefully
Look for “https://” and verify domains (e.g., paypal.com vs peypa1.com). - Be
cautious on social media
Don’t overshare personal details like your birthday, address, or travel plans. - Watch
out for fake job, prize, or investment offers
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
💸 Financial &
Shopping Safety
- Avoid
public Wi-Fi for financial transactions
Use a VPN or wait until you’re on a secure network. - Use
trusted payment methods
Credit cards or secure payment platforms offer better fraud protection. - Monitor
your accounts
Regularly check bank and credit card statements for unauthorized activity.
🧠 Mindset & Awareness
- Stay
skeptical
Scammers rely on urgency and emotion—slow down and think. - Educate
yourself and others
Share tips with friends, family, and coworkers, especially those who are less tech-savvy. - Report
suspicious activity
To your bank, email provider, employer, or cybercrime authorities (cybercrime cell).
